# NAME Geo::Gpx - Create and parse GPX files. # SYNOPSIS # Version 0.10 compatibility use Geo::Gpx; my $gpx = Geo::Gpx->new( @waypoints ); my $xml = $gpx->xml; # New API, generate GPX my $gpx = Geo::Gpx->new(); $gpx->waypoints( \@wpt ); my $xml = $gpx->xml( '1.0' ); # Parse GPX my $gpx = Geo::Gpx->new( xml => $xml ); my $waypoints = $gpx->waypoints(); my $tracks = $gpx->tracks(); # Parse GPX from open file my $gpx = Geo::Gpx->new( input => $fh ); my $waypoints = $gpx->waypoints(); my $tracks = $gpx->tracks(); # DESCRIPTION The original goal of this module was to produce GPX/XML files which were parseable by both GPX Spinner and EasyGPS. As of version 0.13 it has been extended to support general parsing and generation of GPX data. GPX 1.0 and 1.1 are supported. # INTERFACE ## `new( { args } )` The original purpose of `Geo::Gpx` was to allow an array of [Geo::Cache](https://metacpan.org/pod/Geo%3A%3ACache) objects to be converted into a GPX file. This behaviour is maintained by this release: use Geo::Gpx; my $gpx = Geo::Gpx->new( @waypoints ); my $xml = $gpx->xml; New applications can use C to parse a GPX file : my $gpx = Geo::Gpx->new( xml => $gpx_document ); or from an open filehandle : my $gpx = Geo::Gpx->new( input => $fh ); or can create an empty container to which waypoints, routes and tracks can then be added: my $gpx = Geo::Gpx->new(); $gpx->waypoints( \@wpt ); The following additional options can be specified: - ` use_datetime ` If true time values in parsed GPX will be [DateTime](https://metacpan.org/pod/DateTime) objects rather than epoch times. ## `add_waypoint( waypoint ... )` Add one or more waypoints. Each waypoint must be a reference to a hash. Each waypoint must include the keys `lat` and `lon` and may include others: my $wpt = { lat => 54.786989, lon => -2.344214, ele => 512, time => 1164488503, magvar => 0, geoidheight => 0, name => 'My house & home', cmt => 'Where I live', desc => '<>', src => 'Testing', link => { href => 'http://hexten.net/', text => 'Hexten', type => 'Blah' }, sym => 'pin', type => 'unknown', fix => 'dgps', sat => 3, hdop => 10, vdop => 10, pdop => 10, ageofdgpsdata => 45, dgpsid => 247 }; $gpx->add_waypoint( $wpt ); Time values may either be an epoch offset or a [DateTime](https://metacpan.org/pod/DateTime). If you wish to specify the timezone use a [DateTime](https://metacpan.org/pod/DateTime). ## `iterate_waypoints()` Get an iterator that visits all the waypoints in a `Geo::Gpx`. ## `iterate_routepoints()` Get an iterator that visits all the routepoints in a `Geo::Gpx`. ## `iterate_trackpoints()` Get an iterator that visits all the trackpoints in a `Geo::Gpx`. ## `iterate_points()` Get an iterator that visits all the points in a `Geo::Gpx`. For example my $iter = $gpx->iterate_points(); while ( my $pt = $iter->() ) { print "Point: ", join( ', ', $pt->{lat}, $pt->{lon} ), "\n"; } ## `bounds( [ $iterator ] )` Compute the bounding box of all the points in a `Geo::Gpx` returning the result as a hash reference. For example: my $gpx = Geo::Gpx->new( xml => $some_xml ); my $bounds = $gpx->bounds(); returns a structure like this: $bounds = { minlat => 57.120939, minlon => -2.9839832, maxlat => 57.781729, maxlon => -1.230902 }; `$iterator` defaults to `$self->iterate_points`. ## `xml( [ $version ] )` Generate GPX XML. my $gpx10 = $gpx->xml( '1.0' ); my $gpx11 = $gpx->xml( '1.1' ); If the version is omitted it defaults to the value of the `version` attibute. Parsing a GPX document sets the version. If the `version` attribute is unset defaults to 1.0. `Geo::Gpx` version 0.10 used [Geo::Cache](https://metacpan.org/pod/Geo%3A%3ACache) to render each of the points. [Geo::Cache](https://metacpan.org/pod/Geo%3A%3ACache) generates a number of hardwired values to suit the original application of that module which aren't appropriate for general purpose GPX manipulation. Legacy mode is triggered by passing a list of [Geo::Cache](https://metacpan.org/pod/Geo%3A%3ACache) points to the constructor; this should probably be avoided for new applications. ## `TO_JSON` For compatability with [JSON](https://metacpan.org/pod/JSON) modules. Converts this object to a hash with keys that correspond to the above methods. Generated ala: my %json = map { $_ => $self->$_ } qw(name desc author keywords copyright time link waypoints tracks routes version ); $json{bounds} = $self->bounds( $iter ); With one difference: the keys will only be set if they are defined. ## `gpx` Synonym for `xml()`. Provided for compatibility with version 0.10. ## `loc` Provided for compatibility with version 0.10. ## `gpsdrive` Provided for compatibility with version 0.10. ## `name( [ $newname ] )` Accessor for the <name> element of a GPX. To get the name: my $name = $gpx->name(); and to set it: $gpx->name( 'My big adventure' ); ## `desc( [ $newdesc ] )` Accessor for the <desc> element of a GPX. To get the the description: my $desc = $gpx->desc(); and to set it: $gpx->desc('Got lost, wandered around for ages, got cold, got hungry.'); ## `author( [ $newauthor ] )` Accessor for the author structure of a GPX. The author information is stored in a hash that reflects the structure of a GPX 1.1 document: my $author = $gpx->author(); $author = { link => { text => 'Hexten', href => 'http://hexten.net/' }, email => { domain => 'hexten.net', id => 'andy' }, name => 'Andy Armstrong' }, When setting the author data a similar structure must be supplied: $gpx->author({ name => 'Me!' }); The bizarre encoding of email addresses as id and domain is a feature of GPX. ## `time( [ $newtime ] )` Accessor for the <time> element of a GPX. The time is converted to a Unix epoch time when a GPX document is parsed unless the `use_datetime` option is specified in which case times will be represented as [DateTime](https://metacpan.org/pod/DateTime) objects. When setting the time you may supply either an epoch time or a [DateTime](https://metacpan.org/pod/DateTime) object. ## `keywords( [ $newkeywords ] )` Access for the <keywords> element of a GPX. Keywords are stored as an array reference: $gpx->keywords(['bleak', 'cold', 'scary']); my $k = $gpx->keywords(); print join(', ', @{$k}), "\n"; prints bleak, cold, scary ## `copyright( [ $newcopyright ] )` Access for the <copyright> element of a GPX. $gpx->copyright('(c) You Know Who'); print $gpx->copyright(), "\n"; prints You Know Who ## `link` Accessor for the <link> element of a GPX. Links are stored in a hash like this: $link = { 'text' => 'Hexten', 'href' => 'http://hexten.net/' }; For example: $gpx->link({ href => 'http://google.com/', text => 'Google' }); ## `waypoints( [ $newwaypoints ] )` Accessor for the waypoints array of a GPX. Each waypoint is a hash (which may also be a [Geo::Cache](https://metacpan.org/pod/Geo%3A%3ACache) instance in legacy mode): my $wpt = { # All standard GPX fields lat => 54.786989, lon => -2.344214, ele => 512, time => 1164488503, magvar => 0, geoidheight => 0, name => 'My house & home', cmt => 'Where I live', desc => '<>', src => 'Testing', link => { href => 'http://hexten.net/', text => 'Hexten', type => 'Blah' }, sym => 'pin', type => 'unknown', fix => 'dgps', sat => 3, hdop => 10, vdop => 10, pdop => 10, ageofdgpsdata => 45, dgpsid => 247 }; All fields apart from `lat` and `lon` are optional. See the GPX specification for an explanation of the fields. The waypoints array is an anonymous array of such points: $gpx->waypoints([ { lat => 57.0, lon => -2 }, { lat => 57.2, lon => -2.1 } ]); ## `routes( [ $newroutes ] )` Accessor for the routes array. The routes array is an array of hashes like this: my $routes = [ { 'name' => 'Route 1' 'points' => [ { 'lat' => '54.3286193447719', 'name' => 'WPT1', 'lon' => '-2.38972155527137' }, { 'lat' => '54.6634365629388', 'name' => 'WPT2', 'lon' => '-2.55373552512617' }, { 'lat' => '54.7289259665049', 'name' => 'WPT3', 'lon' => '-3.05196861273443' } ], }, { 'name' => 'Route 2' 'points' => [ { 'lat' => '54.4165154835049', 'name' => 'WPT4', 'lon' => '-2.56153453279676' }, { 'lat' => '54.6670126167344', 'name' => 'WPT5', 'lon' => '-2.69526089464403' } ], } ]; $gpx->routes($routes); Each of the points in a route may have any of the atttibutes that are legal for a waypoint. ## `tracks( [ $newtracks ] )` Accessor for the tracks array. The tracks array is an array of hashes like this: my $tracks = [ { 'name' => 'Track 1', 'segments' => [ { 'points' => [ { 'lat' => '54.5182217145253', 'lon' => '-2.62191579018834' }, { 'lat' => '54.1507759448355', 'lon' => '-3.05774931478646' }, { 'lat' => '54.6016296784874', 'lon' => '-3.40418920968631' } ] }, { 'points' => [ { 'lat' => '54.6862790450185', 'lon' => '-3.68760108982739' } ] } ] }, { 'name' => 'Track 2', 'segments' => [ { 'points' => [ { 'lat' => '54.9927807628549', 'lon' => '-4.04712811256436' }, { 'lat' => '55.1148395198045', 'lon' => '-4.33623533555793' }, { 'lat' => '54.6214174046189', 'lon' => '-4.26293674042878' }, { 'lat' => '55.0540816059084', 'lon' => '-4.42261020671926' }, { 'lat' => '55.4451622411372', 'lon' => '-4.32873765338' } ] } ] } ]; ## `version( [ $newversion ] )` Accessor for the schema version of a GPX document. Versions 1.0 and 1.1 are supported. print $gpx->version(); prints 1.0 # DIAGNOSTICS - `Invalid arguments` Invalid arguments passed to `new()`. - `Undefined accessor method: %s` The various accessor methods are implemented as an AUTOLOAD handler. This error is thrown if an attempt is made to call an accessor other than `name`, `desc`, `author`, `time`, `keywords`, `copyright`, `link`, `waypoints`, `tracks`, `routes` or `version`. # DEPENDENCIES [DateTime::Format::ISO8601](https://metacpan.org/pod/DateTime%3A%3AFormat%3A%3AISO8601), [DateTime](https://metacpan.org/pod/DateTime), [HTML::Entities](https://metacpan.org/pod/HTML%3A%3AEntities), [Scalar::Util](https://metacpan.org/pod/Scalar%3A%3AUtil), [Time::Local](https://metacpan.org/pod/Time%3A%3ALocal), [XML::Descent](https://metacpan.org/pod/XML%3A%3ADescent) # SEE ALSO [JSON](https://metacpan.org/pod/JSON) # BUGS AND LIMITATIONS No bugs have been reported.
